A bit about Key Club

Key Club is an international student-led organization which provides its members with opportunities to provide service, build character, and develop leadership. To develop competent, capable, and caring leaders through the vehicle of service.

Notable past Key Club members include: Bill Clinton, Tom Cruise, Alan Jackson, Joe Namath, Bill Nelson, Brad Pitt, Howard Stern and Elvis Presley.

According to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia: "Kiwanis International (/kɪˈwɑːnɪs/ ki-WAH-nis) is an international service club founded in 1915 in Detroit, Michigan. It is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, and is found in more than 80 nations and geographic areas. Kiwanis clubs raise over $100 million each year and report over 18.5 million volunteer hours to strengthen communities and serve children."

"The name “Kiwanis” was coined from the Ojibwe language expression derived from the word giiwanizi meaning to "fool around": ningiiwaniz, which is found in the Baraga Dictionary as "nin Kiwanis", meaning "I make noise; I am foolish and wanton" or "I play with noise". Although Random House Dictionary states that it comes from one of the Algonquian languages and means "to make oneself known", in Ojibwe and other related Algonquian languages, this expression would be gikendami'idizo. Whatever the original meaning, the organization's founders translated it as "We Build", which became the original motto of Kiwanis. In 2005 the organization chose a new motto, "Serving the Children of the World". Members of the club are called Kiwanians."
